The Bauers brothers established the Flowers by Bauers company in 1975, and rapidly gained a reputation for producing high quality cut-flower snapdragons (Antirrhinum spp) in the NE United States.
They have remained competitive against South American cut-flower producers because of their attention to detail, and an in-depth knowledge of the physiological requirements to produce cut-flowers in a greenhouse environment. This, combined with their knowledge of the retail industry, has made them a leader in the cut-flower industry.
